Dante let out a quite hollow chuckle at her sarcasm thanking him for enlightening her. “Looks like I’ve stumbled upon the resident queen of morning sarcasm,” Dante said, his smirk widening as he met the girl’s gaze. “But, note to self: don’t mess with her before she’s had her morning coffee.” Dante took her subtle jab at him as a playful gesture, something like that couldn’t actually bother him, if anything it was quite entertaining and even - could it really - even a little attractive the way she had no problems having a go back at him.
Dante’s smirk deepened as he considered Ayla’s bold declarations, a playful glint in his eyes. “World destruction meetings, reviving extinct species, and coffee world records, huh?” Dante echoed, amusement evident in his tone. “Pfffffff,” he grumbled, “those are all things I do on a daily basis.” He gave his head a shake. While it was more than clear to Dante there was no truth to her statements, he decided to play along with Ayla’s banter a little bit. However, something in Dante was somewhat annoyed that she hadn’t given him an actual answer to his previous question.
However, as his eyes met hers, even if it was for a brief moment, it was like this annoyance couldn’t stay. She was a dangerous woman to him. “So,” Dante continued, his smirk still lingering, “aside from plotting world domination and coffee, what’s the real story behind those captivating eyes?” He leaned in slightly, his tone light-hearted yet genuinely curious, and the flirtatious undertones were hard to miss. “I can’t help but wonder what else lies beneath that mischievous grin of yours. Care to share a glimpse into the world of… well, you?”
